Howdy folks. I do alot of work around ADHD advocacy running the ADHD Alliance in policing. But I want to be able to reach a wider audience. So I've created an Instagram account to share some of the guidance I give to our members.

Gone us a follow! (Please)

The ADHD Alliance, the national ADHD support group I co founded and co chair turns 3 today!

What started as a small local support group has blossomed into the largest work based ADHD support group in the UK with some 1721 members

The work continues to make the CJS neuroinclusive for all

When you have an ADHD awareness presentation to give....but also have adhd so double booked with a physio appointment. And you have to give the presentation from a layby half way to the physio #adhd

In fairness. Several seemingly innocuous household objects become deadly weapons in my hands*

*mostly by accident

You gun toting lunatics

"Past the publishers deadline"

Preach!

Was intending to take my 151 year old great great great grandma for a fun family swim tomorrow.....guess that's now cancelled.

Afternoon folks. I might possibly be featuring on BBC Radio 4 show "you and yours" tmrw at (the very precise time of 12.04)

I gave them a soundbite on Friday.

I am discussing GPs cancelling share care agreements for ADHD patients.

Having enthusiastically made all my Xmas Lego in a couple of magical Lego filled days.

This is me now.

(The swing chair may or may not be made out of lego. And the moustache)

Transitioning from watching Black Doves on Netflix to watching Paddington is a trip now.

I now see Paddington as a hardened contract killer.

Which given his propensity of escorting the dead to heaven is quite fitting.

Mainly here for the use of the words "feudal madman" top work my friend.

Imposter Syndrome is compounded for people with ADHD because we often can’t remember most of our successes.

Even the ones we do remember, we often dismiss and discount them by comparing them to our biggest failures.

Festive ADHD public service announcement (ho! ho! ho!)

I just reordered my meds and got this notification. (This is from Pysch UK)

So ADHD folks, please check your stock and make sure you reorder in time for the festive period.

I am excited to be able to share with you news of the first wide scale disability in Policing survey. The survey is brought to you by us at Disabled Police Association

The survey is open to all serving Police Officers and Police Staff. Contact -

At Scotland Yard today representing my ADHD support group for International day of people with disabilities.

Spent the day with Cumbria Police talking about ADHD and the Criminal Justice system. I discussed the importance of screening for ADHD and how officers can help those with neurodivergent conditions navigate a very neurotypical criminal justice system

Today in the Telegraph.

Now I agree there may well be a conversation to be had about Police wasting money.

But let me assure you. Cultural change is needed. And that requires initiatives that are often led by....DEI officers and teams (pulls shocked face)

Take your war on woke elsewhere guys.

If I remember correctly this is the same Mr Parris who doesn't believe in adhd. Which tells me everything I should know about how much stock to put in his opinion.

'Refused service again with my guide dog, I'm done speaking out' Sean Dilley is inundated with abuse on social media whenever he posts about discrimination issues.

One of the most unbelievable things I've ever read. Utterly shameful. As a society we need to do better. People with disabilities are not 2nd class citizens.

Yes Mr ambassador. We are going to send the explainer. (Cackles in maniacal Soviet)

Govt refuses to diagnose ADHD

Some self medicate w/ drugs

Return on neglect? Prison

"and the fact that some with ADHD then struggled to hold down jobs, and some ended up taking drugs, especially cannabis, which could lead to them committing crimes"

Today I attended a session talking about the values we hold dear in policing and how we engage our workforce to adopt those values.

I pointed out, decisions made by leadership that are contrary to those values.....don't exactly help that mission.

Thanks Alice. I feel special! Ha ha

I have written a guide called ADHD in custody. Although I'd consider myself more of an advocate than a writer. I just want to be in a list 😆

Morning Bluesky. Thought I'd share this guide I co-wrote

ADHD in custody is a guide for diagnosed and undiagnosed ADHDers that will better enable them to advocate for themselves in police custody. Co written with the award winning Neurodiversikey. #adhd

Thanks John. Looking for fellow neurodivergents.

Ironically he looks like I did when I was in uniform. Not a feather duster in sight.
